In the late time of ancient Egyptian history, the tendency to imitate older works of art increased so that it is still difficult to distinguish between a later kingdom and a later "repeating" of the work. The way back to the origins was also searched in the many -spacious grave palaces that were created during the 26th dynasty in Thebes. Here, all major religious writings of the past were handed down.
